Chapter 1322: The Arms Race

Rabbit's shipbuilding and military personnel are overjoyed to get the ultra-detailed information on the Ford-class aircraft carrier. Just seeing the list of various aircraft carrier repair and maintenance materials that Zhou Qingfeng requested, the domestic military industry was also very dumbfounded.

This list of hundreds of gigabytes in size, mixed with photos and videos, and printed out thousands of pages also gives people another clear perception—as if there is really a Ford-class aircraft carrier that needs maintenance.

But if there is such an aircraft carrier, why does Mao have to go to the rabbit's house to find supplies and tools for maintenance? The military industry of Great America has not declined to this extent.

Despite great doubts, Rabbit's military personnel did their best to prepare according to the list. It's just simple things to talk about, but some complicated or cutting-edge things... They quickly found that either they didn't have it and couldn't provide it, or they had other problems.

"Several types of ultra-high-power iGBTs in the list are only available abroad, but the United States has embargoed us, and we cannot manufacture devices with the same performance now."

"There are several kinds of lubricating oils that are too special, and our chemical level cannot reach them, and foreign countries have embargoed us."

"The processing precision of some accessories is too high, but our machine tool... Forget it, let's find an old technician to make a few by hand."

The list of aircraft carrier maintenance materials contains a large number of damage pictures, and even the video shot clearly shows the damaged parts and specific conditions. There are even commentaries in these videos, giving people a novel feeling of being there.

However, the pure information often does not have the actual feeling. Coupled with the maintenance needs reflected in the actual problems encountered, the military shipbuilders of the Rabbit family suddenly realized many details in the design of the Ford-class aircraft carrier.

It's just that the enlightenment is the enlightenment, and the military rabbits can't help but secretly speculate: This matter seems to be true. Could it be that there is indeed a damaged Ford-class aircraft carrier that needs to be repaired? This is so strange!

For Zhou Qingfeng's needs, the military industry of the Rabbit's family is satisfied with the whole country's general mobilization posture. Some simple equipment and accessories are airlifted from various places to Shanghai in just one or two days, and some high-end goods that are scarce are also quickly organized in China.

Find ways to smuggle from abroad if you can't solve the problem. With Zhou Qingfeng's underworld network in Japan, it is now much easier to smuggle some embargoed devices and materials.

And if some things can't be obtained by smuggling, the country has to find a way to get replacement parts in a short time. Anyway, Zhou Qingfeng didn't expect his aircraft carrier to float on the water every day, and it was enough to pull it out to fight a battle to scare people.

Every day Zhou Qingfeng will get a project completion form, which will record which items he needs have been obtained, which items are being transported, and which items have no clue and are trying to find a way.

Seeing that the supplies he needed were getting more and more abundant, Zhou Qingfeng finally felt relieved. He must have found the right method. It is naturally more reliable to use the power of the country to complete this task, which is much better than messing around with himself.

However, due to Zhou Qingfeng's urgency, the national security side had to step up their actions. As a result, some items smuggled from abroad failed to pass through the customs and were detained.

Since most of the smuggling channels pass through Japan, the Japanese Police Department, Customs and various intelligence agencies have seized more and more items, and things have undergone subtle changes.

At the beginning, Japanese customs seized some electronic components used in radar. The Japanese are still very strong in the R&D and production of some subsystems. The things they have produced have always been pretty good, but the integration ability is too poor.

Then, the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department actually discovered a marine propulsion motor during an operation to clean up gangster forces. This is a small device with a huge output power, and it is an important innovation in the all-electric propulsion of warships in the United States.

When did gangsters start playing with this kind of military high-tech?

There are also intelligence officers from the Maritime Security Agency playing fishing, fishing and fishing, and they actually caught a few Korean-Japanese smugglers. These guys are smuggling chemicals. You must know that the chemical industry of rabbits has not been strong. In addition to lubricating oil,

There are too many openings in certain solvents, adhesives, coatings.

Although Rabbit has been using Japan as a channel to smuggle various prohibited items, the continuous interception and seizure have made Japanese intelligence agencies so vigilant. You must know that the United States has just been furious because of the hijacking of the F-22, and Japan, which is forced to be its son, has to be serious.

All the seized items and information are integrated, and an expert can analyze many things from it. When such a bunch of clues and analysis data were sent to the Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant General Miyagawa, the head of the Intelligence Headquarters, felt puzzled—what was the rabbit on the west side of the sea doing?

The nature of some smuggled items is very obvious, such as 30-megawatt high-power marine propulsion motors. This thing is an important equipment for the most advanced all-electric propulsion of warships.

The power of the slave motor can reverse the tonnage of the warship, but in fact this high-power motor is used for the Ford-class aircraft carrier. Such expensive military products are not used in other places.

But at this time, Rabbit's country also suddenly announced the need to build a large aircraft carrier. The combat effectiveness of a medium-sized aircraft carrier of 50,000 to 60,000 tons is not enough, and a larger one is needed. And based on other information, it is more natural that...

According to the Japan-U.S. security agreement, Japan's intelligence is to be shared with the U.S. father. When Japan discovered such an important matter, CIA dared to neglect it, so it immediately notified its new intelligence director, Boss Coates.

"Rabbit wants to build a large aircraft carrier of 100,000 tons?" Coates boss's first reaction was that it was impossible.

Why is it impossible?

It has been nearly ten years since the rabbit was rich. When someone predicted more than ten years ago that the GDP of rabbits would surpass that of Japan, a lot of people on the Internet laughed at it as wishful thinking. The outbreak of the rabbit's military industry is also a recent event, which is really incomparable with the US military that has exploded for tens of hundreds of years.

In the course of decades of development, the US Navy's aircraft carriers have also gradually developed from small to large. During this period, Laomei lost more than 12,000 carrier-based aircraft and more than 8,000 pilots. It can be said that all experience was exchanged for blood and tears.

Rabbit can play with a 50,000-ton medium-sized aircraft carrier as soon as it comes up.

With doubts, Boss Coates asked his intelligence personnel to collect more information. As a result, a lot of information similar to Uncle Zhou's repairing the aircraft carrier can be collected from various public reports. For example...

"Our ship's ultra-high-voltage power transmission and distribution system has recently passed the verification of the ministries and commissions, paving the way for the all-electric propulsion of the next generation of warships."

"Our country's naval high-power nuclear reactor project is progressing smoothly, and the sample reactor will complete all tests within two years."

"Our country has determined that the next generation of aircraft carriers will use electromagnetic ejection, and the technical level is not inferior to that of the Ford class."

Relevant news emerged one after another, all of which were quickly verified by various scientific research units in Rabbit's country that Zhou Qingfeng brought out the aircraft carrier information. Because the information is too detailed, it not only saves money but also saves time. The verification work of dozens of major items and thousands of small items appeared to be very smooth.

As a result, the bandit eagle looked confused, the foot pot chicken looked dazed, the hairy bear looked confused, John Bull and Gallic chicken looked stunned, and the whole world felt that an arms race seemed to be kicking off.
